Why George Russell Will Always Live in Time
by Raul d'Gama Rose
A measure of just how underrated a musician he was in his lifetime is reflected in the fact that even three days after he passed on most of the major publications had not even reported his death, much less celebrated his life in the glowing terms that he so richly deserved. Perhaps this was because oddly ...
Bob Florence Limited Edition / Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band / Dana Legg Stage Band / John Burnett Swing Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
Bob Florence Limited Edition Legendary MAMA 2009 “Legendary" is a word that is often misused and shamelessly over-used, and in this case entirely appropriate. Even though composer / arranger / pianist Bob Florence is no longer with us, and wasn't in the studio when his Limited Edition recorded ...

Another wagged a finger, saying “Bob can be very, very gruff." Well, I'm here to report that Bob Brookmeyer is one of the nicest guys in the world. We had ...

CD: Bob Brookmeyer
Bob Brookmeyer, Music for String Quartet and Orchestra (Challenge).

Stan Getz: At The Shrine
by Chris May
This latest reissue in the Verve Originals series--which in early 2009 brought us the superb five-CD box set Stan Getz: The Bossa Nova Albums--tends to be overlooked when lists of tenor saxophonist Stan Getz's early classics are compiled. A 1954 live recording from The Shrine in Los Angeles, it was originally released on Norman Granz's Norgran ...
